Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, yet how did I get this condition? Please ask: Which department do I need to register for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, there are many possible causes. For example, infectious causes are often related to sexual activity, which can transmit Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Alternatively, it may be due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, where smegma—the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans—can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation again.It is recommended that you visit the Perinatal Urological Infection Department for a follow-up. The Bio-Genetic Testing System can accurately identify infectious pathogens, allowing for targeted treatment.
Circumcital inflammation can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is advisable to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
